Interesting! How did you go from Math PhD to econ professor? I doubt you just applied to some econ tenure position. Please elaborate, I am very curious about your history!

The reason I am asking this is because I'm enrolled in an econ PhD myself (spec. in advanced econometrics) and I am extremely interested in machine learning and data science. I am constantly looking for ways to combine the two in interesting ways. It's nice to meet someone like-minded.

Send me your e-mail, I'll get in touch. I hope to keep on doing Econ with machine learning whatever happens. I did just apply to an econ tenure position, but it was not in the US.

I am not entirely sure how to private message someone on HN so I will temporarily put my email in my profile.
